Happier Times
Check it out: straw hat, braids and a clingy pose with then beau Tom Cruise. My, Nicole, you have come a long way from your 1993 Aussie ingenue days when you were best known in the U.S. for Days of Thunder. P.S.: Is Tom standing on a milk crate?

Still a Fashion Victim
Remember when Nic used to make style missteps? And how in these clunky black shoes! But of course, it was the People’s Choice Awards way back in 1994, so we can't be all that critical.
Pretty in Pink
Standing tall and proud in Cannes in 1995, and with darn good reason. Nicole was promoting one of her greatest flicks, To Die For. You can say that again!
Promoting Moulin Rouge
Whether singing, dancing or pulling off a grown-up geisha-girl dress at the premiere for Moulin Rouge in Cannes with pal Ewan McGregor, Nic really cancan do it all.
Standing Tall
By 1998, Nic would be back to wearing heels. Hey, it wasn't her fault she was towering over her hubby. Besides, he didn't seem to mind at the time.
Looking Ahead
Eyes Wide Shut and the future is wide open. Newly flat-ironed Nicole doesn't follow Tom's gaze into the lens. All that stuff about a picture saying a thousand words was never so true.
Accepting Change
Nicole begins to embrace the whole fashion icon thing at the 2000 premiere of Mission: Impossible—literally and figuratively overshadowing her diminuitive hubby. They would split less than a year later.
Untamed Heart & Hair
Take a long look at the corkscrew curls she wore to the ShoWest Awards in 2002. They rarely make another appearance.
Finding Her Way
With the Kids
Second Time's a Charm
At Her Best
Nicole stands tall and elegant but a bit fragile looking at the 2006 Oscars.
Here and Now
This is Nicole—at the NYC premiere of Margot at the Wedding—as we've come to expect her: cool, crisp and never a hair out of place. But considering her rapid rise to fame, the news-making marriage to a major movie star and an even bigger divorce, we get the whole shoulders-back, glamazon-warrior thing. Don't you?
